An Air India Express flight traveling from Kannur to Jeddah turns back to Kannur after pilots detect a technical problem about two hours into the journey. According to reports, the aircraft, carrying more than 180 passengers, took off from Kannur at around 7:40 am on Tuesday and later received an engine warning indication. The pilots decide to land safely back at Kannur airport, and the aircraft returns without reports of injuries or damage. NDTV and The Hindu both describe the cause as an engine fault or engine warning light, while Times of India adds that investigations point to an issue with the aircraft’s fuel filter. Mint similarly reports that a technical issue prompts the return. Airport sources quoted by The Hindu say the decision is made after the engine warning light appears. The incident is treated as a precautionary emergency landing, with passengers kept safe as the flight returns to its departure airport and authorities assess the underlying fault.
